How to Choose a Cocktail Dress for your next party?

While the little black dress is by far the most common cocktail dress for women, it’s by no means the definitive answer to this semi-formal attire. Today, many cocktail dresses are short, though you can also find them in traditional styles, like the ankle length ballerina dress or the tea length dress, which falls a few inches below the knee. Strap or strapless dress, halter dress or off-the-shoulder dress - the sky’s the limit.

Pear shaped- If your lower body is bigger than your upper body, then you're ideally suited to a style that showcases your slimmer shoulders, chest and face.The halter dresses are best for you to wear in that case

Hourglass- The hourglass figure is distinguished by an equal shoulder and hip ratio. Fitted dresses or bodycon dresses are an ideal choice, so enjoy pencil skirts and strapless tops.

Rectangle:- This shape is characterised by a lack of emphatic curves. Sweetheart necklines can add curvature to your upper body, while dresses with pleats and off-centre embellishments can add visual contrast to your frame.

Inverted Triangle:- Opposite of the pear shaped figure, women with inverted triangle body types have slimmer hips and wider shoulders and/or more substantial chests. Opt for V necks dresses to draw the eye away from your shoulders. Cap sleeves and spaghetti straps are also a great option but avoid off-the-shoulder and strapless dresses. Have fun below the waist with details and embellishments in the skirt area - especially if you are going to choose a slimmer skirt.

Apple:- If you have some extra weight around the middle and a more ample bust, then you're probably an apple shape. Play up them up with wrap dresses and fuller skirts to add balance to your top-heavy figure - and by all means, show off your cleavage with a plunging neckline.
